Still don't understand how they got away selling this Full Scam of the Decade™ from Oct 2016 (Starting with "Driver is just there for legal reasons" video) to Apr 2024 (when they officially changed it to Supervised FSD)

Paid twice into Full Scam of the Decade since 2016 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3HCTVk3qME driver is just there for legal reasons)

Looks great except for l looking like 1

I always use a virtual credit card number (like Citi provides) everywhere which has a daily hard limit.

Yes millions have bought into this scam of the decade since 2016 based on the original FSD videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG68SKoG7vE where the driver seat is only occupied for legal reasons...

Alas the scam will continue to sell well into the next decade after buying Trump.

Same, once you go EV can't stand how slow and stinky gas cars are.

Very Nice! One caveat is that say won't speak the "minus" if your SNR became negative.

echo '-30' | say

echo '\-30' | say

yeah "The study is limited to 500 participants simultaneously, meaning that at most 500 people are allowed to watch Puffer at a time."

Well Stallman also hates the internet:

yeah but he also overpromises and under-delivers - Thousands prepaid into his FSD vaporware since Oct 2016 #"driver is just there for legal reasons" on tesla.com/autopilot #ScamOfTheDecade

I banned Ryan's after they started peddling his Walmart toys - my 4 year old hasn't seen/asked for Ryan's in last few months. So cut them off while young.

LOL - "The Pentagon today announced a partnership with 162 companies and universities -- including" ...

Said company has been scamming thousands into buying a Tesla based for past 2 years with the fake "driver is just there for legal reasons" 2016 FSD video

This is really frustrating as someone who bought a Tesla just for the FSD. This means the Oct 2016 FSD video was a scam and won't come to fruition this decade.

Same here - it's very cute when someone does this on their own for fun but don't know what to make of it when Github (owned by Microsoft) promoting an AWS service and button.

Practical starting price is $54,000 - Who would ever buy it without EAP which is needed for the adaptive cruise control.

See https://www.facebook.com/tsla3/posts/942377245933745 for background

From article ____ What worries me is that customers that buy the Model 3 won’t know what to expect from their cars on any given day. Tesla’s internal processes seemed to be geared toward shipping early and shipping often, which is the Silicon Valley software approach. Despite the updates being great, the safety critical nature of systems like braking and driver assists means that the threshold for a minimum viable product must be much higher than it is at Facebook, Google or Snapchat.

When I see Tesla responding in this way, and continuing to struggle with achieving consistent performance with AutoPilot, it’s an indicator of lax internal controls for product reviews and releases. Tesla has done an admirable job of making over-the-air updates viable and improving the crashworthiness of its vehicles. Now it needs to do a better job of engineering and validating the fundamentals of basic systems like the brakes as well as all the various ancillary systems that still seem so inconsistent on the Model 3.

I have been using AP2 every day for more than a year now as its very convenient but inherently dangerous as its addictive and provides a false sense of security as it works great ~ 90-95% of the time. I would not be opposed to an auto-steer ban to force Tesla to get their priorities straight about stationery object detection and auto-braking and stop scamming people about their self-driving if its really years away. You can still use adaptive cruise which eases all the commute hassles yet forces you to be actively engaged.

Pasting from the FB page _____

I want to make it clear that I take responsibility in regards to my actions. With that being said, I do not believe that there are many Tesla owners who, when using Autopilot, always keep both hands on the wheel and provide their undivided attention to monitoring the road and the software. This collision was directly caused by the Autopilot software seriously malfunctioning and misinterpreting the road. This collision could have happened to anyone who does not expect a car travelling at a fast speed in a straight line to suddenly and without warning, veer off course. After tens of thousands of kilometres worth of Autopilot driving without major incidents, I have learned to trust the software. Autopilot provides users with a strong sense of security and reliability as it takes you to your destination and navigates traffic on your behalf. Clearly, I had become too trusting of the software.

Autopilot is marketed as a driver assistance feature that reduces stress and improves safety. However, the vigilance required to use the software, such as keeping both hands on the wheel and constantly monitoring the system for malfunctions or abnormal behaviour, arguably requires significantly more attention than just driving the vehicle normally without use of Autopilot. Furthermore, I believe that if Autopilot even has the small potential of misreading a clearly marked gore point, and has the potential to drive into a gore point and crash into a barrier, it should not be tested in beta, on the open road, and by normal consumers. My experience is not unique as many drivers have reported similar behaviour from Autopilot, and a fatal crash involving Autopilot on a Model X may have been caused by a disturbingly similar malfunction.

Many Tesla fans will likely dismiss this as fully my fault, but I implore those who believe so to take a full step back and put themselves in my shoes, as a driver who had used this amazing software for so long, and who could not have anticipated such a sudden and violent jerk of the wheel to one direction while travelling at a fast speed. I hope that my fellow owners will be less dismissive of various incidents regarding Autopilot, and understand that the general public views these severe collisions differently from the owner community. Tesla is moving quickly into the mass market, and potential customers in that segment aren’t going to ask, “why were both of his hands not on the wheel while the car was in Autopilot?”, rather, they are going to ask “why did the car swerve into the gore point without warning?”. The autonomous driving movement as well as the Tesla community can only get stronger when we tackle these questions and resolve the issues behind them.

He suckers people to fork over cash in exchange for promises he hasn’t kept

I can vouch for that statement.

You You Xue, an early Tesla Model 3 owner, created the project to tour North America and Europe and show the new electric vehicle to the many reservation holders.

Electrek’s Take

When he says that it hits the median at an “exit fork”, the accident sounds reminiscent of the fatal Model X accident on Autopilot in Mountain View where it confused the median for a lane.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been on an extended Twitter rant against critics of the company.

His most recent target is the media, which he says has lost the public's trust and should be tracked for truthfulness.

Musk is doing all this to distract from the alarming reality of Tesla's struggling business.

Owners who paid $5,000 for Autopilot will be reimbursed for as little as $20 or as much as $280 according to how long they had to wait.

Autopilot is still Beta and parts are still vaporware [0] and they got off easy with just $5M which is not even a slap on the wrist for selling vaporware years in advance...

0) https://www.tesla.com/autopilot The $5K EAP adds these new capabilities to the Tesla Autopilot driving experience.

... automatically change lanes without requiring driver input, transition from one freeway to another, exit the freeway when your destination is near, self-park when near a parking spot and be summoned to and from your garage.

Data from the Model S electric vehicle show it picked up speed for 3.5 seconds shortly before crashing into a stopped firetruck in suburban Salt Lake City, the report said. The driver manually hit the brakes a fraction of a second before impact.

The driver of the vehicle, Heather Lommatzsch, 29, told police she thought the vehicle's automatic emergency braking system would detect traffic and stop before the car hit another vehicle.

She said she had owned the car for two years and used the semi-autonomous Autopilot feature on all sorts of roadways, including on the Utah highway where she crashed, according to the report.

Lommatzsch said the car did not provide any audio or visual warnings before the crash.

The advocacy groups say Tesla’s promotions of Autopilot suggest otherwise and are deceptive. Among the examples cited in the letter is Tesla’s Autopilot website, which proclaims Tesla vehicles have “full self-driving hardware” and contains a video posted that when played begins with text reading “the person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”
